Elvin asked: I’m a college grad with a bachelors in computer information systems, CompTIA A+ certified, will be CompTIA Network+ certified in 3 weeks, cant find a job that suits me for crap and I’m now entertaining the idea of enlisting in the army to become an Information Technology Specialist (25B).
i have a few questions. How is it REALLY like once u get to basic training? When I think of basic training I think of freakin jail how your being hounded all the time. What’s it like in AIT and what happens after you’re done? I’m from Brooklyn, NY. I was wondering if it’s possible to request to be stationed in/near NY or do they pretty much tell u to go to Iraq and BOOM ur forced to go? I’m ignorant to army life. how is it like in terms of social life, having fun and so forth? Also, what are the odds of being deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan as a college graduate? I don’t know where my job developer heard this from, but she said something about how you’re less likely to be deployed if you have a college education. Sounds fishy to me. Anyways, I hope I can get brutally honest answers from you guys. I don’t wanna be fed only what I want to hear like I probably would from the recruiters.
Thanks guys.
one more question. is it possible to enlist to become an officer AND a 25B or is it just one or the other?
